Former LSU Tigers and Washington Football Team running back Derrius Guice had criminal domestic violence charges dismissed Wednesday, but more allegations have emerged, according to a report published Friday by the Baton Rouge (La.) Advocate. Three more women have come forward in the Title IX lawsuit against LSU in regards to the university's mishandling of sexual misconduct allegations, adding to the accusations against Guice.
The updated complaints also add LSU head football coach Ed Orgeron as a defendant for failing to report a rape allegation properly.
According to the lawsuit, former LSU student Ashlyn Robertson alleges Guice raped her while she was incapacitated at a party and later bragged about the sexual act to the football team. Robertson says her boyfriend, an unnamed LSU football recruit, learned of the sexual assault and approached Orgeron about it.
"Orgeron responded by telling Robertson's boyfriend to not be upset because 'everybody's girlfriend sleeps with other people,'" the lawsuit says, according to the Advocate.
Guice was arrested in August 2020 on domestic violence charges, including one count of strangulation, a felony. The report stated that Guice was also charged with three counts of assault and battery and one count of destruction of property. Washington released him shortly after the news of the arrest surfaced.
Weeks after his arrest, Guice was accused by two former LSU students of sexual assault during his days with the Tigers in college. And then again in mid-December, details emerged in a Title IX case against the LSU football program and its handling of allegations of sexual assault. The school announced in March that Guice's name and records will be wiped from LSU's football history. He's also been accused of sexually harassing a 70-year-old security guard at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome during his time at LSU.
